I 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOHN WARWICK and WALTER O. WESTAWAY, citizens of the United States, of Beloit, in the county of Rock and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Windmills; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to-the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

The figure of the drawing is a represen tation of a side elevation of our invention with a portion of the top broken away.

This invention relates to improvements in windmills; and it consists in a combined pumping and geared windmill, constructed and arranged as hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In the annexed drawing, the letter a represents the frame of a windmill having the stationary cross-bar b, which supports the pivotbearing 0. On this hearing rests the stem dof the windmill-pivot e, which carries the fan and tail. Passing up through the bar 1), bearing 0, and stem 61 is a hollow shaft, f, which is stepped below in a bearing, g, situated on an adjustable cross-bar, h, and has a bearing in an arm, 70, near the top of the pivot e. Keyed to this shaftis a bevel-gear wheel, I, which engages another Wheel, m, on the inner end of the fanshaft. The shaft f can be connected in any suitable way with any mechanism which it is desired to operate. The bar It is vertically adjustable by a cord, n, and pulley, and by this means the shaftf can be raised or lowered and the wheel l be thrown in or out 0 gear.

Passing up through the shaftf is the pumprod g, which has a bearing in a bracket, 1", above the pivot, and is connected to the wheel m by the pitman s and pin 1. When desired, this rod q can be disconnected either from the fan above or the pump below. I

The construction described furnishes a mill which can be used for pumping and for driving machinery, or which can be used for either alone, as may be desired.
